Didn't this episode already established her as a canon character though?

Yeh. read what I said again :p
The reason i'm saying it'll be in season 5 is that they probably wont want two DD episodes in one season, but it's such an obvious plot that they'll already be thinking about it.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

The good thing would be that crossovers would be ridiculously simple.

Man, I was just about to use an example with Spider-Man. Great minds, huh?

But yes, I agree with you completely. The bystander effect happens to almost everyone; even young ponies who have saved the world a few times. I actually saw a video on this yesterday (not pony related, but relevant). It's not pretty.

I KNOW RIGHT!? They even has multiple ways to go about it! They can either to an adventure of the week kind of deal, or they can do a season long arc involving Daring Do. The whole concept and premise is very flexible.

So, do you have a legitimate reason, or are you saying that because you went in expecting it to suck, and ergo you were going to hate it either way?

The Mane 6 aren't 99% of people, though. They're heroes. It's more like Superman being too shocked that Bruce Wayne is Batman to help him fight off generic bad guys

Only that's not a fair comparison, these mane six are the same ponies we've seen battle against a variety of foes. One of them even has a spell that she used only in the previous episode which could have prevented the fight from continuing without having to break a sweat.
I suppose it's possible they expected Daring Do to win or maybe they decided to let her lose on purpose in order for the new book to be more interesting.

It's hard to say they expected her to win when they watched her lose, and get injured(incidentally, how the hell was her leg better once she flew off?), and the bad guys strolling off with her big ring thing.

Yeah I got nothing.

I have no idea how her leg got better when she flew off. Maybe she took some syringes of adrenaline hidden in her hat or something.

So, I'm surprised Ahuizotl doesn't just expose A.K. Yearling secret to the world and basically ruin her life by having her always be a constant center of attention. That would be a sure fire way of taking Daring Do out of the picture.

Daring Do: Now, Ahuizotl, you know I love you, but I can't give you the ring until I've properly proposed. <<< BEST LINE OF THE EPISODE!

I dunno. He probably doesn't want people to realize he's real either, or he'd have more than daring do to worry about.

Since you asked...

When I read this episode was about helping an author write a book, I expected something about writing a book. But no. "Oh, Daring Do is real! Let's go on a generic adventure!" Daring Do(God, I hate that she's real) is a total bitch and a hack author from what they said about her books, Dash was a moronic fanboy, the other 5 were basically just there as extras, oh and the end. "Hey kids, harass your favorite author enough, and she'll put you in her book!"

Awful. Actually worse than "Read It And Weep".

I dunno I like the hat idea it explains why she was so happy for Dash to retrieve her hat, like a good little doggie Dash is.
